Fourplexes for Sale in Highgate, Burnaby, BC

Living in Highgate

Highgate is south Burnaby's village node along Kingsway between Edmonds and Market Crossing, anchored by the Highgate Village retail centre — a community-scale shopping district with a grocery anchor, pharmacy, and restaurants. The Edmonds Skytrain station on the Expo Line sits about a 10-minute walk north, and the Central Valley Greenway provides a regional cycling corridor. Streets just off Kingsway have seen significant duplex and townhome infill as the neighbourhood's older single-family blocks convert. Byrne Creek Ravine Park runs through the south end — a forested ravine with trails that give the area an unexpected green edge for an urban shopping district. Schools include Stride Avenue Community School and Byrne Creek Secondary.

Value-driven family buyers for whom accessible pricing and walkable daily amenities are the primary factors, transit-reliant professionals who want Expo Line access without Metrotown pricing, and first-time multiplex purchasers — Highgate consistently delivers some of the most accessible new-build ground-oriented pricing in Burnaby.

Highgate has seen consistent new-build duplex and townhome activity, fuelled by lot values that sit below the Metrotown and Forest Glen average while maintaining Skytrain proximity. Pricing is among the more accessible in Burnaby for new ground-oriented homes, which attracts a wide buyer pool and keeps inventory moving.

Why buy a fourplex in Highgate

Highgate fourplexes are one of the most accessible whole-building four-unit entries in south Burnaby — the Highgate Village retail node, Skytrain access via Edmonds station, and the Byrne Creek park system give the tenanted units a lifestyle package that supports reliable, long-term tenancy from value-driven south Burnaby families and commuters. Units typically run 800 to 1,100 sf each. The investor economics for a whole-building Highgate fourplex compare favourably to a single Burnaby half-duplex: four rental income streams, transit-served location, and a per-unit price point that produces positive leverage for buyers who structure their financing carefully.

What to watch for when buying a fourplex in Highgate

Highgate has heavy concurrent multiplex supply across all formats — verify how many fourplex units are in the immediate pipeline before committing; heavy competition can affect both the initial leasing speed for tenanted units and short-term resale pricing. Pull the developer's prior fourplex completions specifically; the format is newer in Highgate than the duplex and not all active builders have completed four-unit buildings you can inspect. Confirm financing options with your lender early if buying whole-building. Verify parking and rear-access configurations in writing.
